If you are interested in finding out more about your family history in
Minnesota, I specialize in researching
genealogical and historical records in Minn. and western Wis.,
including: census records, birth records, death certificates, obits, grave site photos,
ship passenger lists, marriage records and declarations of
intent/naturalization records. I will visit locations to research local
history and county records, as well as take photos. Quick turnaround on MNHS
records. Both short searches and family history reports available.

About Me

In the process of researching my book, "The Memory Quilt," I did some family history research and my interest was piqued. Over the years, I have become very passionate about the process, and want to help others discover their roots.
